4. Installing the Software
This section describes the software installation process for NI RF signal
generators.

Installing Application Development Software

You can create applications for NI RF signal generators using
application development environments (ADE) such as LabVIEW,
LabWindows™/CVI™, or other development environments.
Any ADE you intend to use must be installed before you install your driver
software.

Installing the NI-RFSG Instrument Driver

Complete the following steps to install the contents of the NI-RFSG CDs:
1. Insert the NI-RFSG Disk 1 into the CD drive. The NI-RFSG installer
should open automatically.
Note If the installation window does not appear, navigate to the CD drive, double-click
the drive, and double click setup.exe.
2. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts to complete the
NI-RFSG installation. For troubleshooting information, contact NI
technical support or visit ni.com/support.
(Windows Vista) Users may see access and security messages during
installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.
3. When the installer completes, a dialog box appears that asks if you
want to restart, shut down, or restart later. Select Restart.

Installing Toolkits or Add-On Software

Optional add-on software, such as the Modulation Toolkit, extends the
generation capability of NI RF signal generators for modulation-domain
and frequency-domain applications. Install any toolkits or add-on software
you intend to use with the NI RF signal generator after installing the
NI-RFSG instrument driver.
Note You must install the NI-RFSG instrument driver before installing the Modulation
Toolkit add-on software in order to properly install the Modulation Toolkit examples for
NI-RFSG. If the Modulation Toolkit is already installed, repeat or repair the Modulation
Toolkit installation after installing NI-RFSG.
